[ACCESSWIRE]
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 12, 2016 / Westminster Resources Ltd. (TSXV: WMR) (OTC Pink: WMRSF) (FSE: TQ08W1) is pleased to announce that the TSX Venture Exchange has accepted for filing documentation relating to the Company's Letter Agreement to acquire a 100% interest in four Lithium prospective mineral claims located east of Yellowknife in the North West Territories. The agreement calls for a payment of $25,000 and the issuance of 500,000 common shares. The original intended agreement as announced in press release on June 16, 2016 called for a payment of $25,000 and the issuance of 2,500,000 common shares.
The claims are adjacent to the 92 Resources Corp., Hidden Lake project. One claim is situated to the East of, and adjacent to, the 92 Resources Corp. ground covering the LU Dyke, which returned values up to 3.06% Li2O, as reported in a news release of June 7, 2016. The remaining two claims are situated adjacent to the 92 Resources Corp. ground in the Southwest. The claim boundaries extend to the proposed limits of 'Yellowknife Pegmatite Belt' that 92 Resources Corp. published as an attachment to a news release dated June 7, 2016.
The Reid lake claim is a few kilometres on possible strike from the Ann (REID) lake occurrence, listed in the NORMIN database as showing id: 085ISW0011, and recently plotted on a map by 92 Resources Corp. as part of a news release dated June 7, 2016. The NORMIN showing information includes reference to a non-43-101 compliant resource: "drilling in 1956 (AR 082243) intersected the dyke at depths of over 100 m and demonstrated continuity in width and grade. A possible resource of 3,335,600 tons grading 1.92% Li2O is reported in GSC publication "Canadian Deposits Not Currently Being Mined" (1989); estimate is from Lasmanis* **
*Potential quantities and grades are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.
** A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves and the issuer is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or reserves. Further work must be carried out to verify all historic information before a resource estimate is possible.
Aurora Geosciences Ltd., of Yellowknife, NT has been engaged to begin a field exploration program.
The Company advises that work is ongoing on the Guayacan, Gold, Silver and Copper project in Sonora, Mexico.
